I'm so proud! - Memorize Your Lines and Try Not To Bump Into the Furniture.

And never let them cough.

Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters. ~Seneca

“For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.” ~Ethel BarrymoreI'm Carrie Leigh... a wife, mother, actress, teacher, writer, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. I love cooking, reading, baking, Jesus, sewing, theatre, blueberries, and watching complete seasons of television shows on DVD. Not necessarily in that order.

So the above is a picture of Me, Patrick (who is in Chicago - I posted about a month ago), Terry, who is acting in Dallas, and Jo in The Fantasticks. This is at the end of Act I... Look who isn't singing. Hrm. Anyway, I played Terry (the girl)'s mother (Bell). 2005, I think. I also played her mother in Brighton Beach Memoirs. And something else, probably, too. Not that I'm actually old enough to be her mother... I think I'm 14 years older than she is. Anyhow. I digress.

Terry did her first film! You can watch the trailer here. It looks really funny, I think.

She's like one of my own children. I'm SO proud. She'll be listed in IMDB! AHHH!

Ahh, Carrie, mother to all stage actresses. ^_^ My sister was often cast as the mother too, because she looked more mature than the rest of us. But back in high school and college, that was a good thing. (In "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown", she was Lucy Van Pelt. She can be a bit bossy; I told her it was the role she was born to play.)

Hey Carrie! I miss you too! Nice to see you have a journal online so I can keep up with you!! I don't know about beautiful, but those pictures did make me feel young again!! :) Mostly these days I feel worn out!! LOVE YOU!
